In the past, Li Badao did not rely on luck in his expeditions, but relied on his overall grasp of the battlefield and his ability to train the Xuanshi army. Although the Xuanshi in Xuanyue Realm are not disobedient at all,
As long as Li Ba Dao wants to do something, they can also start practicing the way of battle formation. Especially after Li Ba Dao contacted him several times, he was shocked to find that the Xuanshi of Xuanyue Realm were familiar with the way of battle formation. Although
The Xuanshi here have not yet formed a complete set of battle formations, but at least they have learned how to improve their overall combat power through combined attacks. After having such an idea and having such a method, they can naturally make
It is easier for them to form an effective attack method. Now if Li Badao wants to promote the method of battle formation here, of course it is very easy and achievable.
But the problem now is that Li Ba Dao doesn't just want to do this. What he hopes to do now is to focus on the entire Xuanyue Realm. This is not because Li Ba Dao is arrogant, but because he has come to this Yuan Dynasty.
Realm, then we need to conquer this Yuan Realm. You must know that this is actually an idea that has been deeply ingrained in the minds of the profound men of Luotian Realm. Especially people like Li Badao who came from a wealthy family in Luotian Realm, he is already accustomed to this kind of thinking.
Thinking about the problem, although the current Xuan Yue Realm itself is very strange, it does not make Li Ba Dao give up on conquering it as a whole. Unfortunately, I have to admit that the strange state here is really too much for Li Ba Dao.
Knowing that the situation here is still at a point where it needs to be excavated, the extent of the excavation has already made Li Badao very troubled by the battle here.
This point is actually very clear, that is, it is difficult to unite the territories between various cities, or between various counts. To put it bluntly, he has no way to rule these cities. Of course, what needs to be considered now is
How to capture these cities? The reason why Li Ba Dao thinks that he has fallen into a deadlock is because Li Ba Dao now doesn't know how to prevent himself from being attacked by others when he goes on an expedition. This must be taken into consideration.
, it will even be difficult for him to obtain information about his own territory in time, because Xuanyue Realm is so big that even Li Ba Dao can hardly cross it easily.
This is true for Li Ba Dao in the Yuan Realm, not to mention the other Xuanshi armies. Once the Xuanshi army goes out for an expedition, no matter how fast they are asked to move forward, they will definitely be very slow.
At least it is very slow compared to Li Ba Dao, but this situation itself is also a real situation. Because the Xuanshi army is very slow, it is actually difficult to form a sneak attack between various cities.
Once you attack, it will definitely be a strong attack, but once you start a strong attack, you will definitely need to take more risks. For example, if Li Badao finds an opportunity and wants to attack a count's territory, then the situation he needs to face will definitely be that he first needs to
Of course, it is not difficult to find a way to deal with the count's city defense strength. In fact, what Li Badao has done most in these years is to attack cities, and even massacre them. Under such circumstances, it is of course impossible.
It is difficult to defeat Li Ba Dao in this matter. However, once he starts attacking here, it will definitely be very troublesome for the count once he starts to contact friendly forces.
Moreover, if you think about everything optimistically, even if Li Ba Dao thinks of a way to capture the territories of these earls, then Li Ba Dao will naturally become a bigger lord. By then, he may be able to become a marquis, and even Hanshan can be conquered. After defeating the Duke, and defeating all the earls and marquis under him, he can also become a Duke, but this is where Li Ba Dao has a headache now. The first point is that what can Li Ba Dao do even if he defeats those people? In a Yuan Realm, it is impossible for Li Ba Dao to form effective control over those lords because the distance between them is too far. Even if Li Ba Dao captures those cities and replaces them with his own people, this way Of course, it can guarantee their loyalty. For example, bringing old people like Shen Zhuo will definitely help him defend the city.
But the question is how to mobilize forces from here in the future. Resources are definitely easy to mobilize, but if you want to mobilize resources, you must involve troops. But once you need to mobilize troops, when you think of the situation here being so dispersed, Li Badao It really became a headache. In fact, in the final analysis, it is because the distance between the cities here is too big. Under such circumstances, of course it is impossible to really form it like other Yuanjies. Very strong control is definitely impossible to achieve. In fact, Li Badao felt really strange when he first saw the lord aristocratic system in Xuanyue Realm. After all, although such a ruling system looks very strange, Stable, but in fact such a system is very loose. Once faced with the invasion of external forces, such a system cannot form a counterattack at all.
Because each lord must be thinking about their own territory, and even if they don't rescue their big lord at the critical moment, there is no problem, because even if their big lord wins after the war, they just need to apologize. That's okay, because no matter how powerful the great lord is, it is impossible to completely incorporate his territory into his own territory, because the distance is really too far, too far. Under such circumstances, it is destined to be almost impossible in the Xuanyue Realm. It is impossible to form a situation of centralized rule, because the premise of centralization is that the most powerful governing body can truly and effectively affect all the forces controlled below, but it is obvious that this will definitely not happen in Xuanyue Realm. In this situation, all the problems lie in distance. So actually, Li Badao is not very worried about Duke Hanshan now, because he doesn't have to worry.
The truth is that simple. So what if Duke Hanshan really sends an army of Xuanshi? Li Badao himself can mobilize all the forces around him to fight against Duke Hanshan. At least with the forces around Lanling City, he will definitely be able to do so. With all of them under his control, the so-called towns actually had nothing to give him a headache. Even the Xuanshi army in the towns seemed to be very powerful, even several times stronger than Li Ba Dao. , But so what, there are many more difficult battles than this in Li Ba Dao's fighting career. Of course, there is no real risk in such a situation. Li Ba Dao is confident to integrate the forces here. That's because the surrounding towns are relatively close to Lanling City. But because they are far away from the Duke's territory, it is actually difficult for the Duke to control it.
The best way is to ask the earls under him to submit tributes all year round. Only through this method can it still form a means of rule. But how weak is such a rule? In fact, Li Badao is very clear. In fact, Li Badao
Now he is thinking from his perspective. If he were the Duke here, how would he control the twelve earls and three marquis under him to obey him? Such a situation would definitely be very troublesome, because when it comes to
At that time, what he needed to face were the numerous problems of nearly twenty cities, and in such a situation, even if Li Ba Dao wanted to deal with several of the nobles, he would definitely need to consider whether they would unite. Besides, Li Ba Dao
It is impossible to always attack them by force. After all, those cities are also your own territory. If you attack them frequently, you will destroy your own foundation.
So now whenever he thinks about this problem, Li Badao gets an extremely headache. This means that it is actually difficult to form a unified control here. Even if he becomes a big noble here, the power under his control will not be enough.
In fact, it can be called a mess. This situation is actually quite troublesome. After all, Li Badao himself has to consider how to fully control the Xuanyue Realm. Only under such circumstances can he be able to do more here.
Master the resources and the army of Xuanshi. The method Li BaDao thinks of now is not impossible, but the time it takes is really too long, because the solution Li BaDao thinks of is to build a city, and Li BaDao does not
Due to the fixed ideas of these profound scholars in the Xuanyue Realm, he does not believe that the profound scholars and people in towns should live in some so-called towns, which are actually big villages.
And as long as Li Badao can build cities now and shorten the distance between cities, the dozen or so towns under his command alone can form a city territory, and by then he will naturally be able to turn his earldom into a city.
In the same form as states and counties, the situation will be similar to that of Xuanlong Realm or other Yuan Realm. But building a city is still a very troublesome matter after all. It not only requires a lot of energy and financial resources, but also
It is necessary to bear some risks of their unintended intentions in the early stage. After all, once they do this, the power of those towns will definitely expand. At least once they have a city, they will have city defense. It will definitely be difficult to attack them by then.
It will become a bit troublesome and the difficulty will increase. Once Li Badao needs to be surrounded by more than a dozen cities, his Lanling City will become the target of siege.
It is precisely because of this that Li Ba Dao can only temporarily shelve such an idea and plan. There is no other way. First of all, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. Although Li Ba Dao has a lot of resources, but now he wants to
It is quite difficult to build a city, especially if you build more than a dozen cities at once. Moreover, building a city does not just mean building a city. After the city is built, it will definitely need a population, but the population here is definitely not enough. In fact, Li Badao
I have such an idea because I realize that the vastness of Xuanyue Realm is certainly a flaw, but it is also an opportunity. That is, the resources here are really many and many, and I dare not say that they are inexhaustible.
But at least Li Badao knew that there would definitely be no problems in his lifetime, as long as they had enough strength to develop.
The amount of resources here even makes Li Ba Dao feel excited. It is precisely because of this that he thinks about building cities. Once the population increases, there will be more cities, allowing more connections between their territories.
, this will naturally form better control, tap a large amount of resources at the same time, and allow trade between cities to develop, which will naturally make this place richer. Although the resources are those, in fact, the interests are mutual
Created during the exchange process, as long as everyone has something to do, they can naturally earn Xuan Crystals. Although Xuan Masters need to consume a lot of Xuan Crystals to practice, mining Xuan Crystals here is not a difficult task.
At this time, these people can naturally unite better to work together, and the connection between the cities can naturally enhance the connection between the caravans, and the most important thing is to strengthen control.
This is what Li BaDao values the most now, and it is also what Li BaDao now thinks is best to control. However, the size of Xuanyue Realm is really beyond Li BaDao's imagination. In fact, he also knows that even if it is established for more than ten
A city itself is impossible to connect the entire Xuanyue Realm. Let alone the entire Xuanyue Realm, even if you want to contact the territory of another earl, it is a difficult thing. At the same time, it also requires
The point of concern is that once the city they built really comes into contact with other territories, a war will inevitably break out, and this war will definitely be a fight to the death.
At that time, Li Ba Dao will need to solve the problem of another earl territory. This is basically a difficult problem that is so huge that even Li Ba Dao can hardly see the end of the solution.
It is precisely because of this that Li Badao now also knows that the first thing he needs to solve is to control the earls one after another, at least control the earl territories in his own hands, and then start building cities to connect these cities together.
In the end, a prosperous empire or state and county will be formed like other Yuan realms, and once he can do this under such circumstances, he will be considered a complete success in occupying the Xuanyue realm. This is Li
Ba Dao's current plan, but the most difficult part of this plan is to capture the territories of other counts, because such a thing is easy to say, and even Li Ba Dao can do it very simple, but he wants to do it one by one
But it still takes a lot of time to complete, and if the method is too violent, it will be difficult for you to get the harvest you want after victory.
It is not that the deadlock cannot be broken, but it is obvious that the time required to break this deadlock is too much. (To be continued)
